Women know that when they join together and support each other, they can accomplish anything. But between work, family, exercise, volunteer work, book clubs, and the multitude of other things women find themselves involved with, how exactly do they go about finding that vital support when it comes time to do so? And when they do find one another, how do they support each other beyond the occasional phone call or coffee?

Goal Sisters is all about finding someone when we want that extra help, that extra support, that extra concern. Authors Ann Leach and Michelle Beaulieu Pillen are the original goal sisters, and they wrote their book to share with women everywhere what they learned about the process of building and nurturing a supportive female relationship. Can women be successful all by themselves? Of course. Can't we just call a friend when we need a pick-me-up or a pat on the back? Absolutely. But aren't there times when the extra cheering, the extra accountability, the extra prodding - from someone who's been there with us every step of the way - make the tough times easier and the victories sweeter? That's what Goal Sisters is all about.

Goal Sisters is divided into three parts: Embarking on the Goal Sister Process; Living La Vida Goal Sister; and Goals Will Keep Us Together. Part I is devoted to showing women how to find potential goal sisters and approach them. Part II is the nuts and bolts of meeting with your goal sister, overcoming obstacles and making sure that having a goal sister works for both women. Part III is about extending the goal sister relationship with overnight get-togethers, as well as maintaining successes and finding new goal sisters. Throughout the book are exercises to work on and questions to ask yourself, and each chapter has a brief summary to wrap up the big ideas.

The book is full of anecdotes from real goal sisters to illustrate ideas and give examples of what might happen when one embarks on the goal sister journey. The anecdotes also help us learn how to take our friendships to the next level and make them work to our very best advantage. Reading them, I couldn't help but imagine my own goal sister and the fun we could have encouraging each other to reach our full potentials! Goal Sisters is for women who have big ideas about what they want from life and aren't afraid to find someone else to help them down that path.
